It is the summer of 1942, and the world is changing fast. With his father serving on a Navy destroyer in the Pacific Ocean and his mother working hard for the war effort in a busy New York office, a young boy packs his bags for his grandparents' farm in New Hampshire. Far from the city sirens and wartime headlines, he steps into a quiet world of early morning chores and wide-open fields. As the summer unfolds, you will join him in gathering eggs, caring for the animals, and listening to the radio broadcasts that connect his family across thousands of miles. This touching story captures a unique moment in American history, showing how one boy finds comfort, responsibility, and deep family roots during a time of global uncertainty.
